If you’re planning for 2025 and any of these scenarios sound familiar:
- Releases are high stakes and you want to lower risk
- Deployments are coupled to releases and moving slow
- You have a modernisation project going, but it’s getting stalled

Risk is a big concern in software development right now. After the Big Scary Thing happened in July, leaders became even more aware of what happens when a release goes south. Feature flags can help: flagsmith.com/ebook/flip-the…

Nearly 4 years of The Craft of Open Source podcast! This was the first ep!
Three learnings from speaking to #opensource creators:
1. Getting to the commercial part of COSS takes a long time
2. Small, bootstrapped teams can be a superpower
3. Open source is eating the world

One of the biggest ways feature flags actually help your day-to-day: removing bottlenecks.
↘️ Backend not finished, monster PRs riddled w/ collisions, deployment plans coupled with code, code freezes, big scary releases. Grim.
Which bottlenecks get in the way of deploying most?

Focus on the customer, not the next round.
^ This is one of the biggest reasons we #bootstrap.
On the VC track, you naturally have to focus on the company’s next raise. Bootstrapping lets you focus on users first.

🤯 96% of all codebases are now estimated to contain open-source software (2023 Synopsis OSSRA report). It's taken time, but banks are starting to get in on the action, seeing open source as an opportunity rather than a risk.
